Present in the center is a stone statue named Prudentia, who unlocks the keys to his power. The Red Knight himself is one of these characters and to use his magic, he retreats to the confides of his mind where he has a built a magical building. Characters on both sides can use both types of magic and the effects are felt through different characters. I won’t get into to many specifics but this was a nice change of pace as opposed to light and dark magics. There are two types of magic we get to see in this story: one is related to the sun energy and how it can be manipulated and the other is related to the wild and the using of its powers. There are several other character story lines you follow but they all come to a head at the battle of Lissen Carak and you may need to bring a change of cloths as shit is about to go down. Finally we follow Michael, loyal and determined knight with a soft and loving heart who you can’t help but route for. Next we follow Sauce, a female knight with a dark past trying to prove herself to the company. First we have Bad Tom, a brute, hulk of a man who will chop your head off with one swing of his sword, but he has a great sense of humor. We also get the follow the company and what makes them all unique. Little does he know that he is in the middle of an war that has been brewing for years and the battle of Lissen Carak will be just the tipping point. When the abbess of Lissen Carak hires the Red Knights company to defend the fortress from the onslaught of the wild, the Red Knight believes that it is just another job. The Red Knight is a young 19 year old captain who is much smarter and mature than his age would imply. As you can tell from the title, the main POV of this story is the Red Knight and his company. I know this can bother some readers but you get used to it as you read on. This is a multi-third person POV story with the author alternating several times between characters throughout the chapters. In terms of battles, there are very few others who have done it better than Mile Cameron! Lets dive into the story. The wild is looking to reclaim the land it has once owned long ago unless someone is brave enough to stop them. Surrounding these populated lands are the dark and mysterious wild filled with monsters, strange creatures, magic, and dragons.
The Red Knight takes place in a world similar to Medieval England and France with castles, dukes, knights, Kings and Queens.
The Red Knight is his first entry into the fantasy genre and I must say that it is a smashing success. What Christian Cameron is well known for is his medieval reenactments and how he brings his experience with weapons, armor, battle formations, and siege engines to his writing. Miles Cameron is the pen name for the well known historical fiction writer Christian Cameron.
